That's a first for me Ellie... I had not heard of a doctor saying to lower Protein. Just FYI... I was in a 3 week stall and upped my Calcium and exercise and lost 3 lbs.. I was like wth.. But somewhere I read calcium helps promote weight loss and I love those Carmel calcium chews anyway so ill keep doing it. You are doing so well and are an inspiration to many!!

Yes my doctor said the lower your weight gets that is a certain amount of protein you'll need according to that weight!

It's crazy how all doctors have different philosophies. My doctor says the amount of protein you need is based in your height.

Good job. What was your doctors goal weight for you?

Well, I woke up thinking it was Friday, so guess what! I weighed. It's been exactly one week today since my surgery. Oh, and I have a question. Do you count the day of your surgery as post-op? I'm asking because I've noticed some new ppl counting it and some not. I'm a newbie, too, of course.

Anyway...... I'm down 10 lbs. plus the 5 gained in the hospital from all the fluids, etc. :rolleyes:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
